The plug-in is now downloadable in its preview version from the Solid Angle website - but remember that you need an actual Arnold license to use Arnold with 3ds Max.Īnd Shotgun got an upgrade to v7.0 that's focused on helping VFX and animation studios review their shots in the context of the most current available cut of the surrounding sequence. And there's a lot of action in simulation and effects, as Autodesk has introduced BOSS, the new Bifrost Ocean Simulation System.Īrnold is being brought to 3ds Max, too, this time with v0.5 of a new plug-in, MaxtoA. The new type features and MASH nodes introduced to the Maya toolset at last year's SIGGRAPH have been better integrated this year, as Autodesk says artists are starting to make Maya an effective motion-graphics environment. While Maya has been built to make using Arnold as easy as possible, with new Arnold render view windows available throughout the software, Autodesk promises continued support for third-party renderers.Īmong the marquee features of the new Maya is something called the Time Editor, which offers an NLE-like paradigm giving users the ability to stretch, compress, and dissolve between clip-based snippets of animation data. It can get a little confusing as to what should be set as an AOV or what should be created in the render setup, and how those two can work together within one scene.Ī little while ago, 3D Artist Yone Santana walks us through everything you need to know about render set up and AOVs when working with Arnold.Īrvid’s new MtoA 123 tutorial walks through some production tested techniques for setting up your render layers in Autodesk Maya 2017, Nuke and the new integrated MtoA plugin.3ds Max Gets Its Own MaxtoA Plug-in for Arnold RenderingĪt SIGGRAPH this week, Autodesk shipped Maya 2017, the first version of the popular 3D software to integrate Arnold as the default renderer.Īutodesk announced at NAB this year that it was acquiring Solid Angle, the maker of Arnold. The new render setup system offers a one-stop location to create render layers, overrides, control lights and collections, which ultimately give you more control over what you are viewing and spitting out.Ī 3rd party renderer such as Arnold will include AOV’s with its integrations. It wasn’t too long ago (Maya 2016 Extension release) when Maya ditched render layers for a newer and much more robust render setup system. Look Dev and Lighting TD Arvid Schneider offers us an in-depth look into how to create production tested render layers With Arnold, and Maya’s Render Setup.
